Well, there's always getting your butt out to the protests the 15th & 16th. The more the merrier, and if you are worried that you might not agree 100% with the political views of the rest at the protest, make your own sign. Can't get to DC or SF? Hold one of your own and invite the local newspapers.
Bush & Co. may say they don't pay any attention to protesters, but when 200,000 folks are marching in DC, it's hard to ignore and even harder to ignore the fact that for the first time people are protesting BEFORE a war in such huge numbers. Even the mainstream media is hard pressed to ignore that kind of story -- particularly since the organizers are bending over backwards to keep it safe and peaceful.
